Last Few Edits & Jobs Before Deadline | Development

Before the deadline, there are a few things we need to get sorted and finish in order to complete our work. Here is a list of the jobs we had to do before our deadline:

• Testing the photo freeze.
• We added this into the edit but after watching through it, I've decided it doesn't really work with the tone of our show. If we had done this elsewhere in the video it would make sense, but because we haven't it just feels out of place. We also didn't say in the script whether the photo was actually taken or not, so it would work with or without it, and we'll probably not have it in our final edit. 
• We all agreed it doesn't do anything to our video, and there's no point in keeping it as it seems very out of place.
• Group Crit.
• During the big group crit we had, there were a few audio issues I found, like Marie's door slam wasn't very effective, and the volume of certain things needed to be raised, but other than that I was really happy with how the final outcome looked and sounded, and I think the improvements made over time have been very effective in making the video the best it can be.
• Also we got quite a few laughs during this session, and quite a few people that our two characters had really good chemistry, which is really good. The group liked our video, and that's really good to know as we've been watching it for weeks and are used to it by now.
• We had to shoot the iPad scene to go into scene 17, with the instagram notifications. We originally decided to do this after the group crit, but Laura's iPad ran out of battery, so we had to do it the day after. I created the Instagram image, to go onto the iPad, on photoshop and uploaded it onto youtube so it was all prepared. Once we had shot this scene, we added it in and at first we weren't keen on it, but after a while we actually started to like it, which is good.
• Printing off the poster.
• This was one of the last things we needed to do. We had heard from a second year that there was a printers company in chatham that did printing for cheap. Nisserin called the company and asked them the questions we wanted to know the answers to. This should've been done by Laura, but we didn't want to waste time so Nisserin did it. Myself and Nisserin then went into chatham and printed the poster at the company sourced. It came out really well, and the quality is still really good, which I was worried about.
• We made the 2-3 minute extract, did the three action screenshots from the timeline, and chose two bts pictures for our hand in. After all of this was complete, we were ready for our deadline to come.

I'm really happy with the outcome of every piece of work we have done, and I'm happy with have got everything complete in time.
